Abstract: A digital data processing system contains a non-volatile memory and is
personalised by writing personalising data into the memory. Initially, a
predetermined write authorisation bits pattern is written into at least an area of the
blank memory. When a write request is received, the contents of that memory area
are accessed and read. The memory contents thus read are then compared with the
predetermined write authorisation bits pattern. If, and only if, they match, a write
operation in the memory area is permitted, and personalising data can be written
in the memory area. Otherwise the write request is rejected.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine mit randverstärktem Aufhängeloch
versehene Warenverpackung aus Karton, bestehend aus einem
Kartonzuschnitt, bei dem die Lochverstärkung aus einer das
Loch umgebenden Kunststoffolie besteht. Es ist die Aufgabe der
Erfindung, mit einfachen Mitteln eine wirksame Randverstärkung
zu schaffen, die ohne besonderen maschinellen Aufwand auf
herkömmlichen Maschinen für die Herstellung von Kartonausschnitten
zu fertigen ist. Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß sich
die Kunststoffolie über den gesamten Randstreifen einschließlich
des Ortes des Loches erstreckt und das Loch umgibt. Bei der
Herstellung dieser Warenverpackung geht man so vor, daß man
auf einen Kartonbogen mehrere Streifen Kunststofffolie aufkaschiert,
deren Mittellinien einen Abstand von der Länge der
herzustellenden Warenverpackung aufweisen, und aus diesem
Kartonbogen die einzelnen Kartonzuschnitte mit ihren Löchern
ausstanzt, wobei die Löcher auf den mit Kunststoffstreifen versehenen
Folienabschnitten des Kartons liegen. Dadurch erhält
man eine Warenverpackung, die sich in ihrem Randbereich
durch hohe Festigkeit auszeichnet, so daß ein eingestanztes
Loch nicht ausgerissen werden kann, solange dabei nicht die
aufkaschierte Kunststoffolie zerrissen wird. Diese läßt sich
entsprechend dem Gewicht der verpackten Ware so kräftig
auswählen, daß ein Zerreißen der Folie ausgeschlossen ist. Ein
Abreißen der Folie vom Karton läßt sich durch die Wahl der
Breite der Folie sicher vermeiden.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forwarding a multicast message in
network communication. In the method: first, configure forwarding match condition at
the entry interface to the network device requiring forwarding of a multicast message (1), the
forwarding match condition regulates a forwarding rule for the multicast message; then,
match the multicast message to be forwarded to network device through the interface
with the forwarding match condition (2), and forward the multicast message according to
the matching result (4,5). The present invention can configure the sending mode of messages
according to requirement and can effectively avoid risks in security that may be caused
by the broadcast mode for the multicast messages in the link layer as well as efficiency
loss caused by receiving a great deal of invalid multicast messages, and the
configuration is simple, and more convenient use and management is realized. In the
present invention, forwarding a multicast message through configuring a multicast message
forwarding rule greatly reduces the number of various multicast protocol messages
generated in the multicast network and saves bandwidth resource of network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for compensating scanning disturbances on optical recording media such as occur in a control loop of a playback or recording unit, in particular as settling amplitude after a disk disturbance and are caused by scratches or dirt on the optical recording medium. In order to compensate the scanning disturbances, a follow-up signal counteracting the settling amplitude is coupled into the control loop as additional offset as a function of the frequency of the occurrence of a disk disturbance for a prescribed time interval. The follow-up signal is coupled into the control loop with a step width that is increased from revolution to revolution on the recording medium until the change in the direction of the settling amplitude of the control loop. Large follow-up signal values are produced in a stepwise fashion in the event of absence of the disk disturbance, in order to avoid large variations in the follow-up signal value. The duration of one revolution of the recording medium, or a shortened time interval up to the individual compensation of a plurality of disturbances during a revolution of the recording medium are provided as time interval for inserting the follow-up signal value. The invention is intended to be applied for playback or recording units of optical recording media.

Title: Methods and apparatus for a contactless electro-mechanical actuator with coupled electronic motor commutation and output position sensors
Inventor: SEGER ERIC
IPC: H02K29/08
Filed: 2004-06-17
Abstract: An electromechanical actuator includes a brushless motor driving an output shaft through a torque-amplifying geartrain. An integrated motor commutation sensor includes an annular, two-pole magnet rotating with the motor and two ratiometric Hall-effect sensors at right angles around the magnet. The sensor signals are utilized by a processor to compute motor angle over 360 degrees rotation. An integrated output position sensor includes a second annular magnet rotating with the output shaft, and a second pair of Hall-effect sensors providing signals to the processor for computation of output shaft absolute position. The commutation magnet angle is predicted from the output shaft position, and compared to the motor's sensed rotational angle. The difference is used to correct the output shaft sensed angle with improved accuracy proportional to the gear ratio. The processor also provides logic signals to control motor winding current and provide closed-loop control of actuator position.
